A Medley of Marcus Fabrics

Hello Everyone,
 
Remember this quilt?  I made ten more blocks yesterday and started sewing the rows together last night.  If I turn them just right, they will make a nice design next to the border. It is easier to see the design when I walk across the room, and get back farther.
 


I'll be placing puzzle pieces today from this pile.  I know I will be making more blocks after I see what colors are missing on the design wall.  Now I think I need to add more blue blocks.
 

I only used Marcus Fabrics in the entire quilt. Here's an organized sample of some of the fabrics, from fat quarters to half yards.  I would show you the other bin, but it's not very organized.  The largest piece of fabric I need is only 5-1/4".  I would like to say I'm making a dent in the stash, but it doesn't seen like I am.


So let's make some dents in that stash today.  I know I'm going to be rummaging around in more bins to see what I can incorporate into this quilt.  I might just find some nice surprises.

Soon,
Lynn

    Apparently your stash and mine are kin, for I don't see much of a dent in mine, either. I have been productive, too, yet the stash is still out of control. (What a great problem to have, right?) I love your blocks and the way that you have set them together. Gorgeous!

    Oh goody! I might sew along with you Lynn (pending your approval) as I'm crazy for stars and I love this quilt. Mine wouldn't be all Marcus, but I would try for a similar flavor.

    I love that colorway, soft but not understated. I would love to play with those fabrics! As for me, its handstitching scraps because machine is packed away till we move. Have fun!

    What gorgeous blocks and do I ever love the Marcus fabrics! Some days I think my stash has a mind of it's own and multiples while we sleep - as long as it multiples with Marcus, it's fine by me!
    Cheers!

    I love it Lynn! I love how the darker fabrics make a zig-zag effect around the stars. I love a secondary pattern that is not too obvious, but when you look at the quilt for a bit you suddenly see it! Great design! Hugs, H
